You could do this with your polaris since day zero, DAL/DC(opencource) code is 2 years old.

Wohooo gratz to everyone involved, this is a true milestone
Looking forward to using Freesync with my RX 470 on a following kernel.

so finally with my notebook (carrizo APU) audio from HDMI will work?? good

[R41N3R]

I own a RX 480 and after I have compiled linux-git and enabled amdgpu.dc=1, I can now use HDMI audio :-)

modinfo amdgpu | grep dc
parm: dcisplay Core driver (1 = enable, 0 = disable, -1 = auto (default)) (int)
parm: dc_log:int

Now let's see what other new function I can use...

Did Linus make a comment or did he just grumpily accept and then go to bed?

Congratulations to AMD, Dave and everyone involved in this!

I have an SI card so no need of DC, but it still feels like an amazing journey.

Time to start the compiler and to switch :-) I'm excited and appreciated all the effort of AMD and the other developers to make this possible!

I'm definitely looking to pick up a Ryzen 7 2700u machine, if ever they release one in my place, that is! It's hard to find laptops with high-end AMD chips. Also, I'll pay more for a premium product with good build quality. Sadly, a majority of AMD based laptops seem to be so flimsy that they can break if you just look at them. I hope the OEMs show us more love this time.

Oh yeah!! Great job AMD and the Linux team!
